ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Writing a textbook on digital marketing is achieved with a supporting cast of prac- titioners and academics. As a hybrid part-academic and part-practitioner I am in a wonderful and unique space with access to students as well as organisations of all shapes. Whilst I would like to list everyone who has helped, this would be like the never-ending speech at the awards ceremony! May I thank you all, you know who you are #RoundOfApplause.

Special thanks are due to: Karen Jones at Aston University, who provided constant motivation and helped with the content marketing and online communities chapters; Adam Civval at Greendog Digital, David Peck at the University of Derby and Peter Rees, an examiner in digital marketing, who all provided inspiration and ideas for mobile marketing; Karl Weaver, the CEO of Isobar, who shared insights into program- matic advertising; Richard Shambler, a long-established examiner in digital marketing and an expert in the SAF framework; some of my former digital marketing students now working in agencies and in-house: Joe Alder, Imogen Baumber and Jade Walden.

Thanks to those behind the scenes, including: Jonathan Saipe and Tracey Stern, who deliver digital training at Emarketeers, Brian O’Kane at Oak Tree Press in Cork, who inspired me to write my earlier practitioner books, Dave Chaffey, who encouraged me to write a textbook, plus the plethora of anonymous reviewers who provided fantastic feedback.

Translating the book from an idea to reality was made possible by the detailed and dedicated SAGE team, ably managed by Matthew Waters, Delia Alfonso and Jasleen Kaur.

PREFACE Digital marketing is a journey that can take an organisation towards new markets, discover new opportunities and protect the current landscape. In the digital marketing journey you can choose to be a navigator or a passenger. As a navigator you explore options, set the course and lead the way. As a passenger you can sit back and take in the scenery or you can lean forward and advise the navigator.

Whilst digital marketing was established 20 years ago and is one of the fastest moving and most exciting aspects of marketing today, there are fewer universities and colleges providing digital marketing education. As a result there is still a lack of understanding and fewer established frameworks to make it easier to adapt business practices and adopt new ways of working. This book aims to provide that understanding and share the latest concepts to apply in organisations, whether you are a student working on a case study, or heading into your placement year, or juggling a part-time vocational marketing module with work.

Students can think of this textbook as a digital marketing roadmap, a blueprint for your digital journey, to enable you to become navigators rather than passengers.

The book contains three key parts. Depending on your knowledge you may start at Part 1 or jump straight into Parts 2 or 3.

Part 1, Digital Marketing Essentials, equips you with a useful context to the digital landscape. Discover the key concepts to understand how we arrived in this new world and comprehend more about the changing digital consumer.

Part 2, Digital Marketing Tools, provides a rich source of the key components. It starts with an overarching toolbox that explores all possible digital marketing tactics, followed by more detail with dedicated chapters on content marketing, online com- munities, mobile marketing and augmented, virtual and mixed reality. It is critical to understand the tools available before embarking on a digital strategy.

Once you have comprehended the digital marketing tools, this is a good time to explore Part 3, Digital Marketing Strategy and Planning. This part investigates digital audit frameworks to ensure you are ready to develop the strategy and objectives, before building the digital marketing plan. Newer issues, including social media management, managing resources, digital marketing metrics, analytics and report- ing, are included. The part concludes with methods of integrating, improving and transforming digital marketing, enabling you to apply the knowledge and tools gained though the chapters.

Enjoy the journey and let’s start the campaign to create more digital navigators!

1.1 INTRODUCTION The fast-changing digital landscape provides many opportunities for marketers. It is important to understand key concepts such as ubiquitous computing and how the pace of technology has changed. This chapter explains how traditional marketing models like Diffusion of Innovation are still valid and apply to online opinion lead- ers, as well as differences between generations.

We explore the meaning and impact of ‘digital disruption’ and ‘the Internet of Things’, with new business models emerging to understand how this applies to consum- ers. In a world where your personal information has value, you can discover more about ‘big data’ and privacy issues that affect marketing plans. The last part of this chapter considers bitcoin and blockchain and how this might influence the future of data management.

1.2 A NEW ERA The growth of digital marketing has changed the relationship between businesses and customers. Scholars and practitioners agree that organisations are keen to use digital marketing to engage with their customers and we have moved into a new era where things look different.

KEY TERM UBIQUITOUS COMPUTING The term ‘ubiquitous computing’ was originally coined by Mark Weiser, who was head of the Computer Science Laboratory at the Xerox Palo Alto Research Center (PARC) when writing in Scientific American in 1991 (Weiser, 1991). At that time Weiser commented that in the future there would be computers everywhere and we would not notice their presence; they would just be there.

Some decades later, we have computers at home and with us at university; they are embed- ded in our mobiles, wearables, in cars, in outdoor billboards – everywhere. We have reached Weiser’s vision that computers are integrated ‘seamlessly into the world at large’ (p. 94).

One of the reasons for these trends and the change in the digital landscape is due to the acceleration in the adoption of new technologies. It took more than 50 years for over 50% of US households to adopt telephones (imagine life with no phone!), nearly 20 years to adopt home computers, yet it took less than 10 years for the same group to adopt smartphones.

In a pre-digital age, you booked a holiday by visiting the travel agents on the high street. It was only on arrival at your holiday destination that you saw what the hotel really looked like. Today you will go online, read reviews, see ‘traveller photos’ or holiday snaps others have shared and ask questions of people who have actually visited the destination ‘IRL’ (= in real life).

THE DIGITAL MARKETING LANDSCAPE 5

1.2.1 THE PACE OF TECHNOLOGY SUBSTITUTION Writing in the Harvard Business Review, Ron Adner and Rahul Kapoor (2016) explored the pace of technology substitution and suggested that the speed of replacement was based on ecosystems. Old technology ecosystems may find product extension oppor- tunities whereas the new technology ecosystems need to counter these challenges. Within their framework there are four quadrants, as shown in Figure 1.1, which can be described as:

• Creative destruction, where there are few challenges to the new tech and few opportunities for the old tech, resulting in fast substitution.

• Robust coexistence, where the old tech fights back and brings out alternatives and a gradual substitution takes place.

• Illusion of resilience, where the new tech moves in with few challenges.

• Robust resilience, where old tech fights back and new tech challenges, bringing about a gradual substitution.

DIGITAL MARKETING6

It could be argued that there are limitations to this framework as the research was based on a five-year study in the semiconductor manufacturing industry and adop- tion of new products is not always based on product desire, but also availability. In some countries it is harder to get a landline phone than a mobile. The landline requires wires and major investment whereas a mobile network is simpler to deploy. At the same time, growth in landline telephone ownership is declining sharply, espe- cially in the G12 industrially advanced nations. Explore the latest statistics on the Telecommunication Development Sector (ITU-D, 2017).

Activity 1.1 Analyse Technology Change 1. Working in groups, use Figure 1.1, the framework for analysing the pace of technology substi-

tution, to analyse the types of technology changes that you have witnessed in your lifetime.

2. What were the greatest changes?

3. Why was this?

4. Are there any difficulties ensuring all four quadrants in the framework are included?

How do we learn about new products or what influences our judgement to adopt new technology? In 1944 sociologists and behavioural scientists Paul Lazarsfeld, Bernard Berelson and Hazel Gaudet conducted a study to see how mass media affected voters in the US election campaign for President Franklin Roosevelt (Lazarsfeld et al., 1944). The surprising result of their research was that it was influencers, or opinion leaders, not the media, that had the greatest impact. Influencers, who received the messages from what at that time were mainly traditional newspapers and radio, shared this with their ‘followers’.

1.2.2 TWO-STEP FLOW THEORY OF COMMUNICATIONS The research was further developed by Paul Lazarsfeld and Elihu Katz who named this

the two-step flow theory of communications (Lazarsfeld and Katz, 1955) where the

media communication was received by the influencer and then passed to other

individuals.

There were limitations to the two-step flow theory of communications. It was based on one piece of research, which meant that it was not necessarily generalisable to other situations. It may be that this was a set of exceptional circumstances that could not be repeated. Another issue is that it was a simplistic binary model which assumed that this is how mass media worked. As a result of these limitations, the model was extended from two to multiple steps (the multi-step flow), which was developed by John Robinson (Robinson, 1976) and was used as a basis for other communications theories.

THE DIGITAL MARKETING LANDSCAPE 7

A key aspect of the digital environment is that we have moved from two-step or multi-step to a totally different understanding of communications with newer models emerging, such as media richness (see Chapter 11, Social Media Management) and uses and gratifications theory (see Chapter 13, Digital Marketing Metrics, Analytics and Reporting), although at the same time some much older theories, such as diffu- sion of innovations, have remained valid.

KEY TERM DIFFUSION OF INNOVATIONS In 1962 Everett Rogers published a book entitled Diffusion of Innovations, which was based on the two-step flow of communications and explored the conditions that increased or decreased the likelihood of product adoption.

In this model, based on how a product gains momentum and spreads or diffuses through a group, Rogers proposed five adopter categories – (1) innovators; (2) early adopters; (3) early majority; (4) late majority; (5) laggards – which considered the time at which an individual adopted an innovation.

The five adopter categories were ideal types fabricated to make comparisons, and Rogers recognised these generalisations. There was criticism of the terminology – no one wanted to be considered as a laggard, which was perceived as b
